I have had a lower back pain that radiated to the left hip for years. Chiropractic adjustments and massages gave me a relief just temporarily. Rafael suggested to start therapy every 2 weeks. I noticed a great difference after the first cession! 3 months later: no pain at all and now I only need to come once a month for maintenance and preventative measures. He is absolutely great in what he is doing! Elvira. B

I first heard about Rafael from my son Brent.We had been seeing another chiropractor and he referred my son to Rafael.Brent was intrigued by this new pain relief called MAT or muscle activation techniques.It was helping him and he said to give it a try.I had hip problems and needed hip replacement.I was at my last stand.i was having great difficulty walking.The pain was getting unbearable when I saw Rafael for the first time.It took almost 3 weeks with twice a week sessions for the beginning of relief.After 2 months I stood straight and walked with little or very manageable pain.Today I see Rafael once a week and I haven’t felt this good in 10 years.I introduced my wife Wendy to Rafael because she is a gym person who has trained hard for over 30 years.She also had hip problems for over 5 years and was in excruciating pain.She also had been to many chiropractors and trainers and was getting worst.Today she has made a remarkable recovery thanks to Rafael.MAT is for real.It is so simple to train differently when you realize all the pain you have is in your muscles.The muscle turns off and every thing else in your body compensates for you. All  your muscles break down and you feel pain.Even though your hip or knee hurts it comes from your neck and feet.It is quite amazing to have your feet worked on and feel relief in your hip.The muscles are all interconnected.It is truly remarkable and Rafael understands the human body and its muscles better than any Doctor we have ever seen and we have been to over 50 of them.There is no doubt that Rafael can get you pain relief faster than anyone.MAT is the oldest science that so few people have ever heard of.If you give it a try it will truly change your life.Rafael is the most dedicated professional I have ever met.He constantly studies new ways of helping his client.He is also a great healer and he happens to be one of the most amazing and brilliant person we have met.We are honored to call him a friend as well.

I had never heard of Muscle Activation Techniques (M.A.T) and soon I would realize that, it was a game changer for my lifestyle.  Like many professionals, I sit in front of the computer most of the day. I attempt to work out and run as much as possible to stay active.  However, from time to time, injuries occur.  Three (3) weeks prior a race weekend involving 15 miles of running I suffered a reoccurring back injury.  This is when I was introduced to Rafel Justo and M.A.T.    

When I began working with Rafael he took the time to perform a detailed evaluation and explain the entire M.A.T process.  Not only did it make sense, it really worked for me. I regained strength in muscles that were not being used and made improvements in my mobility and muscle contraction.  I feel lighter on my feet and have been pain-free since starting my sessions.  I also cut more than 1 minuet off my personal records for the race weekend.  Rafel has made recovery and injury prevention an awesome experience for me, and I look forward to every appointment I have with him!

MAT has been an absolute godsend!!!! I am 37 , and as a former athlete i have had multiple shoulder surgeries, knee surgeries and lack mobility in my hips and neck due to other injuries. Since meeting with Raphael and having weekly MAT sessions i have regained 100% mobility/range of motion in my shoulder, i am able to play tennis multiple times a week with ZERO pain. Raphaels innate ability to diagnose root cause issues allows for on the spot treatment and IMMEDIATE RELIEF/RESULTS. At this point it is safe to say i have sent over a dozen people to see him and everyone in a believer. No matter age, athleticism, or issue, MAT will increase your quality of life, and get you back to the things you love most!!! (BEING PAIN FREE).
